Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back and thanks for your further follow up.
There is no problem if a very slight amount is ingested. We also give this medication for oral cavity problems.
But even then I prefer to suggest my patients to apply the medication in a very small amount. It should be such a small amount so that it is not visible by naked eye. For your kind of area just quater of pea size amount is sufficient. It is also to be applied by a ear bud.
My all best wishes for your healthy life

Hello,
Welcome again to the forum.
Dandruff which is scientifically known as “pityriasis capitis” is highest in twenties and then recedes by itself in later part of life. It is due to the fact that the renewal of skin and the fatty acid secretion in scalp is highest at this part of life.
For the remedy part follow the things below:
1.Wash your scalp twice in a single bath. It means when you are washing your scalp apply first time shampoo for washing the hair part only, then rinse it off immediately with water. Reapply the shampoo again immediately, leave it for around 5 minutes, do a good gentle massage by your fingers for around 2 minutes and then wash it off.
2.Stick to one good shampoo which is suiting your hair, don’t change the shampoos frequently. If you are using any conditioner also then to be used over the strands of hair only and not over the scalp skin.
3.Comb your hair at least 3-4 times a day and most importantly at night time so that the dust particle and other of dead skin is taken off.
4.Eat a lot of good healthy diet, do mild exercises, reduce your work stress as all these have bit impact on skin so also on scalp skin.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good health.
